Well from my prespective i dont think that jim can be a minstrel becuase hes not a poet, singer or a comedian that performes from being white to black. just becasuse jim has the characteristics of a black man it does not means that he is a mistrel. many people think differently so people have many different point of veiw so i dont think he is a minstrel. I also think that jim has no double consciousness becuase so far in the book he is acting the way he is supppost to be acting.i dont see a double consciousness in jim.

For many centuries many citezens and illegal resident were praying for an election of a new president. A new president that will make many changes in the United States of America. All these past years we been having white male presidents and i am not against white male presidents but no changes have happened, plus the economy is going down and someone has to do something about it. Now that we have for the first time a colored president every one has more hopes for the future ,especially a better economy because if no changes happened during all these past years then now is time for a new change in America. I surely support President Obama because i know that he is going to make racism be a myth really soon. Eventough their is still racism in most states, having a colored president i am sure racism is going to be less present than how it was years ago.
Go president Obama!!

People are always being perceived in many different points of views that relate in Race ,Gender,Sexual orientation,Background and Ethnicity. All this aspects are being judge by others that might not know that other person that is being judge. Many people may not be comfortable of being judge by others because its not right to talk crap about other people. people perceive me as being short, timid, aggresive and white. and that kind off scares me because sometimes people are wrong and plus they're judging you without knowing you. I think everybody has their own personal life styles. why bother others in asking if they are rich or poor. I just think is really stupid because when people see you wearing something nice or elegant the first thing that comes up to their minds is "she/he is rich" then they start asking question like: where do you live? do you drive?. In the other hand when you see another person wearing formal clothes then they dont really pay attention to you and the first thing they think about is "he/she has nothing to offer". I think is really sad how people perceive others on what they are wearing and of how they look. people should'nt been perceived of the way others think of you.

During my high school years many strangers perceived me as being untouchable, preppy and inferior to the rest of the students. All these characteristics made me look bad infront of other people that i was getting to know. why well because i was not that person they were thinking i was. when my friends started getting to know me better i felt so much better because they were finding out that i was'nt preppy, untouchable or inferior to others because at the same time we are all the same people but with different tendencies. when you get to know somebody new in your life you think differently of them then what you thought the first time you saw them.
Geting to know new people helps you realized how different you are from what you thought you were. Most of the times people that hate you always talk crap about you with others because they want you to look bad with other people that dont know you. And those people that do that to hurt you they are the ones hurting themselves in the inside because they are jelaous of who you are. people that hate somebody else because of their looks should think of the wrong statements that they are doing insted of perceiving you with another person that you are not.

Race, Background, Ethnicity and Gender are also a huge aspect in a every day life. For instance, when people see me around they always perceive me as being white because i am white skin. but they dont know that i am a Mexican-American. But when people ask me questions they can totally tell that i am Latin because of the way i speak. And also because of my accent. i really dont mind what others think of my accent because i know i am not the only person that does not speaks "Perfect English" so i dont really mind of what they think of me. Also when people hear me speaking spanish they just look at me like if i was a weird insect and it amkes me feel sad and unconnected to others. I am pretty sure i look mexican just because i'm a white skin Mexican it does'nt means that i am an American. Many people see Race and Background as something huge in their lives because it determines if a person is African-American, Mexican- American, American , etc. Ethnicity identifies you of who you are from the inside and outside and people should not perceive you as being what they think you are without knowing you.

I am so confuse???

It is tremendously rediculous how people that published the ads of superman and barbi being fat are actually demostarting the ads to children. I totally think that is so not right because the children that are seeing barbi and superman FAT are going to get dramatized by the way they are viewing the pictures. I personally would not let or show that ads to any kid. kids are bearly developing their bodies and they dont know what is good or bad for them and by watching the ads kids can get really upset and depressed. They might n0t even want to eat because they might not want to be fat like superman and barbi. Also the way they pictures are expressed can cause emotinal expressions not just in kids but also in teenagers. For example, the way they are showing the Barbi with the laptop makes teenager not to eat in bes with the laptop.I thought it was funny how superman is sitting down watching tv insead of helping the "world" as a hero!!! I remember one day when i had to take care of my 2 nices cause my sister had to work on a saturday and then it was time for lunch when my 4 year old nice joanna told me that she wasn't going eat because she was going to get fat like her cousin monica.....i was impressed, I tought it was incredible how a 4 year old is already thinking of being thin when she has'nt even developed her body.
